Spain arrests Russian carrying 38 silver "pen guns"
Spanish police have arrested a Russian woman carrying 38 "pen guns" capable of firing .22 calibre bullets, saying she was part of a Russian-Kosovan gun-smuggling ring. The silver weapons â displayed by police on Thursday â look like normal pens. "I've never heard of anything like this before, at least not in these quantities," a police spokeswoman said. The weapons were illegal and the woman was arrested on suspicion of arms trafficking, she added. Police specialising in criminal gangs from the former Soviet bloc had been following suspects for months before arresting the woman on Tuesday, the Interior Ministry said in a statement on Thursday. The 27-year-old woman was also carrying 99 rounds of .22 calibre ammunition, the statement said.Posted by: Fred 2004-06-06 |
